Although it may seem at first that this apartment is not in the middle of downtown Bangkok, the apartment is very close to the BTS Skytrain, which brings you quickly to the downtown area. We were able to easily get to any place that we wanted within the city via BTS and MRT. We enjoyed the local neighborhood around the apartment: great street food options, and a large shopping mall with food shopping and a diverse food court just down the street. There are plenty of interesting places to walk and explore around the neighborhood. The apartment itself is quiet, nicely laid out, bright and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our 2-week stay and would go back again without reservation. We didn't meet Ann as she was on holiday, but met Arisa (Ann's mom) for both the check-in and check-out process. Arisa was helpful and responsive and it was a pleasure interacting with her. All-in-all, a very enjoyable experience.
